‘Stop discriminating against Africa’ – Omotola Jalade drags Turkish Airlines

Omotola highlighted the broad range of movies from various regions, including Turkey, Asia, Bollywood, Hollywood, and the Middle East, that were available during the flight. However, the absence of African, specifically Nigerian, films led her to accuse the airline of discrimination against African travelers.

As a prominent figure in the Nigerian film industry, Omotola’s critique draws attention to the need for more inclusive entertainment options in international travel, particularly those that represent the diversity of the airline’s passengers. Her remarks are particularly significant given the global recognition of Nollywood and its importance in representing African culture and storytelling.NYSC Portal
